Chapter 710: Decaying Space (Part I)
That's what you ate this morning? The thought of this made my face pale and my stomach twitched. The e-book download is complete. More. 。
I saw that the place under the tasting counter where the cooked food was placed was crawling with maggots. The maggots were white and wriggling on the ground. There are many more maggots that emerge from various cooked foods. Especially the 'meat' of the steak, the larvae of these flies gnaw at the surface of the steak that has rotted and discolored, bite out a 'hole', and then crawl down slowly.
Every 'meat' and every dish in the tasting counter is **. Some even have a thick layer of green mold.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked, my face flushed. Zhou Rong also vomited, this guy is so immortal This morning he learned from me to run the tasting counter to eat white food, but he encountered such a disgusting strange thing on the first day, and he deserved to be depressed.
Liu Huishan was far away from the counter, sorted out her emotions, and then patted her 'chest' with palpitations: "I don't know what's wrong." Don't say that you were fine when you came to eat with Zhou Rong in the morning, and the 'meat' food and vegetables and fruits were normal. As usual, I cut out the food and put it on the counter. Then I went to the bathroom. When I came back and continued cutting, I always felt that something was wrong with my hand holding the beef 'meat', and there was a soft and sticky feeling. So I looked down and saw that all the food was deteriorating at a speed that the 'meat' eye could see, and the tender 'meat' of the cow in my hand became loose, and then many maggots crawled out of the holes. ”
"The vegetables and fruits have become more thorough, and a lot of mold has grown. I saw the mold come out with my own eyes, green and disgusting. Then the stench of rotting food spread, almost choking my heart. ”
Zhou Rong finally recovered from his nausea, and looked at the tasting counter with a distracted look: "We didn't find anything abnormal when we ate." ”
"At that time, I was sure that the food was still normal." I forced myself to remember the 'color' and texture of the food I ate in the morning. Faced with a bunch of ** and moldy food, this kind of memory is really not an interesting thing: "The question is what happened between when Hui Shan went to the bathroom and when she came back? What is it that spoils a cooked food that is otherwise normal? ”
I have a lot of information about chemistry and new technologies in my brain, but none of them can make such a big difference in food in a very short period of time. Human technology can't do that. So, how can we explain the current situation?
"Is it haunted? Recently, Liu Huishan, who ......was about to explain her point of view on the second floor, was about to explain her point of view, when suddenly, she stopped, looked up carefully and sniffed the air around her, and said abruptly: "Do you think that the air around you is very turbid, and the smell of rotten food is getting stronger and stronger?" ”
Zhou Rong and I were stunned for a moment, and at the same time 'pumped' and 'pumped' our noses. Sure enough, the concentration of ** smell in the air of the blank supermarket is constantly increasing, and it can be clearly smelled so far away from the tasting counter. It's just that the smell doesn't just waft from the tasting area, it seems to be everywhere!
I shuddered, pulled my legs, and ran towards the fresh area. Sure enough, the vegetables and fruits in the fresh area, as well as the 'meat' category, are already **, and maggots are crawling randomly on the shelves and counters. The raw and frozen 'meat' in the freezer was no exception, and I resisted the nausea and put my hand into the freezer to test it. It was bitterly cold, and the chiller did not fail.
But the pigs, the beef, and the meat were all thawed, and the ice turned into water, and the floor was everywhere. The freezer is even more 'messy', and there are 'holes' everywhere after the 'meat' is drilled by maggots. And the maggots tried to crawl out, but they were frozen by the cold air and froze on the surface of the 'meat'. The melted water in the freezer was puddle after pool, and all the green mold floated on it. Some of them have melted into the water, and the water has become green and unspeakably nauseous.
Zhou Rong and Liu Huishan, who ran behind me, were also stunned by the scene in front of them. Liu Huishan was frightened: "How could it be like this, I have never heard of such a thing." What the hell is going on with this supermarket! ”
Originally, because of Zhou Hui's disappearance, Zhou Rong was very depressed for a while. Seeing the strange situation now, he seems to be resurrected again. After the astonishment, his eyes flashed with excitement, and at the same time, the camera hidden in his trouser pocket kept flashing.
The stench in the supermarket is expanding, and the employees in the basement cold storage are pouring up from below, all with frightened expressions on their faces, and it is estimated that the pig 'meat' and frozen food in the cold storage have also suffered the same fate as the first floor. They smelled the stench on the first floor, as if the end of the world was about to 'press', and some of them actually cried in fright. Indeed, this blank supermarket, where people often go missing, can cause incomprehensible stress on employees, and the slightest hint of wind and grass can break people's nerves.
I frowned and took a few steps forward to the food section. Grab a packet of potato chips from the shelves and tear open the bulging bag. The packet, which was free of flavors and preservatives, immediately flew through the air and fell to the ground under the gravitational pull of the earth.
As I suspected, puffed food also suffered bad luck and was not spared. The white and chubby maggots crawled happily in the sealed bags, and even if they fell to the ground, they did not disturb their interest at all, and continued to wriggle vigorously.
I continued to pull a few sealed ready-to-eat snacks out of the bag, and even vacuum-packed 'dried meat', all of which were also spared. I frowned, my head was completely inadequate. If the food, fruits, and vegetables that are 'naked' and 'exposed' in the outside air are easy to be manipulated by people, and some unknown means are used to make the food quickly rot and grow maggots, what about puffed food? Many puffed foods and vacuum-packed foods are treated with irradiation, although many people are unaware of it. But I know it.
Most of these are foods that have been irradiated with cobalt-60γ rays, and although many countries have banned them, they are still circulated in major supermarkets. Irradiation can completely destroy microorganisms and prevent the harm of pests and diseases. Irradiation sterilization can prolong the shelf life of food and agricultural products, so that food will not grow insects and mildew within 3 years; Potatoes and onions can be irradiated for an extended shelf life of 6 to 12 months; 'Meat' poultry food is irradiated to completely eliminate mold, E. coli and other germs.
In fact, most of the fresh 'meat' used to make hamburgers sold in supermarkets is 'shot' by the line, and in fact, if the fresh 'meat' and many food products are not irradiated, no matter how much you sterilize the processing plant, you will not be able to completely destroy the harmful bacteria.
Despite this, this self-harming method of disinfection at the highest level of humanity is completely ineffective in today's blank supermarkets. irradiated, unirradiated. Those who have used preservatives and those who have not used them have all deteriorated and become moldy. No food is an exception.
The more than 20 employees on the first floor were all scared to death, and everyone was panicking, as if they were about to be wiped out. Several of the new employees even took off their work clothes, threw them on the ground, turned around and ran towards the big 'gate'.
I don't know if anyone noticed, but I saw a very strange scene when I had been paying attention to everything. The fleeing employees pushed the revolving door like crazy, and as soon as they stepped out with their left foot, the whole person was gone. Abruptly disappeared without a trace. Around them, the space rippled and waved. It's like a stirred water, slight, but it's really rippling.
I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and outside the revolving 'door' was a huge parking lot, from the big 'gate' to the edge of the parking lot for more than 50 meters. But there was no one to see in the empty place. The employees who ran out disappeared like that.
"Did you see that?" Zhou Rong gently tugged at the hem of my clothes, his voice trembling, and he seemed to be scared.
"See." I nodded: "Perhaps, they are all missing." This blank supermarket is really weird. ”
Zhou Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out that I was not the only one who saw it, and I almost thought that there was something wrong with my eyes, and I began to have illusions." ”
I glanced at Liu Huishan vaguely, and she seemed to have seen the strange disappearance outside, but she didn't say anything, and lowered her head thoughtfully. She sensed my gaze and looked up, leaving me with a forced smile. That smile, for some reason, I saw the bitterness in it.
The noise finally called the upper echelons of the fourth floor, and the supermarket owner Wang Zhiqiao and Xiao supervisors, as well as a cadre of managers, hurriedly walked out of the elevator and were stunned when they saw the tragic situation on the first floor. Several of them even had weak legs and almost collapsed on the ground covered with maggots.
"What's going on?" Wang Zhiqiao's face was pale, his eyes scanned the shelves on the first floor, and then circled the faces of the employees who came over.
No one answered him, and the old employees lowered their heads and trembled with fear, like little 'chickens' who didn't know what to do. Most of the new employees resigned from their bosses, asked for their wages to be settled, and left. Wang Zhiqiao was noncommittal, looking at the 'chaos' and 'chaos' scene in front of him, he was obviously in a bad mood.
"If you're leaving, get out of here now. Hum. He was snorting coldly, but the hidden meaning under the cold snort might only be understood by the old employees and a few of us. No employee can quit and leave the supermarket, and if I had doubts about that in the past, I was completely convinced after the revolving door incident. The blank supermarket is different from other places, and in its space, there must be a rule that I can't guess yet. "Do what you want, if you're not bored." The words were like a threat, and they were like venting. Wang Zhiqiao didn't pay any attention to his employees, just walked around the first floor, and then went upstairs with his team. When he entered the elevator, he said again: "What are you doing there, I don't pay your salary to make you wait for the elderly." Get to work. Clean up the first floor entirely. ”
